| Apr 12, 2022 at 7:50 | comment | added | Separatrix | @JoinJBHonCodidact, this is actually a surprisingly important question to which we don't really know the answers. It's possible that a world with no tides would have no life and hence not be habitable at all. It would have no intertidal zones, and hence perhaps no land based life, but populated seas, etc. | |

| Apr 12, 2022 at 1:17 | comment | added | JBH | Hello Jesse, welcome to Worldbuilding. For future reference: (a) asking more than one question at a time is a reason to close your question (click on "close" and read "Needs More Focus"), (b) the help center teaches us that questions "must be specific and answerable, must include context, [and] must include restrictions/requirements." You're missing all of that, which is also a reason to close a question (see "Needs Details"). In short, you should ask a single question (one question mark), explain why you're asking, and provide the scope for respondents. | |

| Apr 11, 2022 at 22:12 | comment | added | AlexP | "No moon likely means no tides": not true. "Does this make a planet half water, half land, or similar divisions:" there is no relationship between the Moon and how much land is above the water. *"Do freshwater and saltwater have separation": no clear what this means. "Directional tides": what? | |

| Apr 11, 2022 at 20:42 | comment | added | Nuclear241 | I never knew that freshwater-saltwater separation is caused by the moon instead of the sun (evaporation, wind, precipitation). | |
